What can I do?! I managed to strip the threads in the head for the turbo oil feed line. I started the car, and a waterfall of oil came pouring out. I ran the car like that for less than 30 seconds. I was pissed. Anyways, there is some good thread left, the bolt will scew in and get tight, and the all of a sudden get loose. Can I tap this without taking head off? Help!

Thanks,
Kevin Swalchick
